Hey, I know polymorphism. Its just that I didn't know one could use an interface as a 'property' of a class. I've not worked with modern OOP (C++/Java/C#) much. You're talking to a guy who used to code in IBM 1400 autocoder with these new-fangled punched card thingies. ;-)

Ha! Punched cards. You lived in luxury. We only had open connections for a 4-bit bus, and we had to set the bits by connecting live plugs them with conductive surfaces from our own bodies!

Suffice to say you tried to avoid any codes involving the number 15 ...

You still 'ad body parts? Ooohhh, we use t' dreeeeaammmm o' body parts. Wor fingers and skin 'ad all been 'acked off t' use for printer 'eads n' cable wrap. An' wor testicles ended up in t' abacus ...

4-bit bus? Huh! You were Lucky!!

Reminds me of a futuristic movie I once saw.  What was it called now? Oh the matrix.
